Hi there,
You need to make sure your web server (like NGINX or Apache) is running and listening on the correct port (usually 80 or 443):
Also, check that your firewall (UFW or DigitalOcean Cloud Firewall) allows inbound HTTP/HTTPS traffic:

Also double-check that your app is actually serving content on the public IP, not just localhost.

Heya, @2f65c0f70d214d31912b3a09c19ec1
If you’re using DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls, go to your project’s Networking > Firewalls, and ensure rules allow:
-
Port 80 (HTTP)
-
Port 443 (HTTPS)
Also, if you’re using UF,W check for any existing rules that will prevent you from connecting.
